Roughly how many grams of protein are you taking in per day? Ever try zero carb, high fat, high protein?

Ranges from 210g to 245g, depends on the day and my food sources

I had 241g of protein today, 254g carbs and 65g fat for 2250 calories

You'll find very few people who are an all round player when it comes to fitness. The most notable were probably Greg Plitt and Mario Pudzianowski. Weird to put these two together but these guys packed on muscle and had great cardiovascular abilities to boot

Alex Viada...just in case he's on Boards and would take exception to his exclusion

Most bodybuilders are trained to perform an exercise for 8 reps typically which takes maybe
25 seconds. They rest 30 seconds and repeat. They are not trained to do 30 minutes on a treadmill. Same way a marathon runner may not hack 8 reps of heavy weight training.

Cool. cheers for pointing me towards them, that interests me.

4.15 miles, ultra marathons etc, while lifting all that, very nice.

I don't know about that, Plitts body was used as a template for Dr Manhatten in the film Watchmen. He maintains 6%bf all year round. Used to be a military ranger. If you watch his videos he's very fit cardio wise, never gets tired. All round perfect athlete

Mario Pudzianowski, 5 time world's strongest man, 290lbs with a 6 pack. Enough said

Not arguing with those. Just thought he was worthy of an inclusion for his lifting and his non lifting escapades.

Can't tell if that's sarcasm but I was just letting the poster know that there is enough time in the day to fit in a 45 minute workout no matter how much you have going on in your life. If you find time to watch TV you should find time for exercise, it's all about how badly you want to get into shape

Defo admiration dude

Kinda let my outside life get a bit out of sorts, made some big mistakes but just gotta do what you can. Wouldn't say I'm an admirable person by any means. I got lucky with genetics coupled with the ability to avoid junk food

Haha, it is uncanny!! Certainly in the last pic! Anyway, I've no idea how I even ended up here! So I best be off! G'luck

That 4:15 mile never happened. He just makes that stuff up. He does lift and he does run, but nothing anywhere near a 4:15 mile.

I saw this same thread and pics on bb.com fairly recently (I remembered the dead lift pic). Is the OP on a worldwide victory lap?

Congrats on getting in such great shape in any case.

It's probably not even him....

Someone did that a few years ago to me on BB.com. Robbed a load of pics of me and a mate and claimed they were him.

Someone mailed me on here and the ensuing call out was frickin hilarious.

you had me going mad how you could fit that many carbs into 2250 when I couldn't - I'm trying to hit that calorie level with a similar protein requirement.

nice pics though.

Hey OP, just a quick question.

I generally have a decent enough diet - not perfect but good.

A typical lunch would be brown rice, vegetables and chicken. Also a sweet potato, vegetables and chicken.

However, I find the food plain enough on its own so I put a bit of extra spicy Cajun spice, basil and black peppercorn spice over it before I eat it. I also add a bit of olive oil.

Are these spices bad for you or are they ok to put over your food?

I burnt 300 calories in my workout yesterday so 2250 was all inclusive. Should have mentioned that

Hard to say, if you make your own spices from scratch they can be very low in calories. I personally don't go with branded spices because there so much in them. A spoonful could throw your diet off

How? The only issue I can see with spices is salt content. Aren't the calories from spices negligible.

I'm just giving him my opinion on it. I incorporate spices that I make myself, I like knowing what's in it. I'm sure there are healthy spices in the market but some have too much different ingredients for my liking. Olive oil is very caloric dense, I use a low fat coconut oil to cook meats. It's little things like that. This is very small in the grand scheme of things but im finding it very difficult to get more cut now so these things are pivotal for me

Shave your head. That's about all the 'cut' you have left! Maybe trim your toenails too?

Ah makes sense. Ye pretty much all oils are very calorie dense. Doesn't getting low fat coconut oil defeat the purpose though?

I use it as cooking oil when I do steaks, only a table spoon. Coconut oil have so much benefits for us that I don't mind the additional calories. Olive oil falls behind it IMO

Also squeeze a lemon in water, these are tricks of the trade if you will

Yeah agreed. I use coconut oil whenever I'm frying. How regirous are you when calory counting? Do you weight out pretty much everything you eat or did you get to a good point of being able to eye ball and guestimate your intake.

The secret: when Mariusz Pudzianowski, the dominant strongman at the time, was asked when he’d last taken anabolic steroids, he answered, “What time is it now?”

Yeah you reach a stage when you know just by looking at it. I would weigh oatmeal, chicken and my steaks. I know the nutritional value of 1 egg like the back of my hand
